I've enjoyed using the Widescreen Fixer tool by Dopefish, but I have one continuing problem and I have no idea what causes it. The problem is that after a month or so--not sure exactly the time frame, but somewhere in that range, the program refuses to open. I dont' know if it has to do with MS security updates or? etc..I try to run it as Admin etc and all works great until one day it no longer opens?? If I click on the short cut at the bottom of my Win 7 screen the security box will open as always and I'll say OK yes open WSF etc. But the WSF control panel doesn't appear? And even if I go back to the DOC folder where I have all stored and try to again somehow open WSF it just won't happen. I haven't a clue. What I have to do is look around on my machine and delete--including the recycle bin--any and all references to WSF and go back and download anew the whole current WSF and start again. Its not that I can't do it, but I wonder what happens and causes this to occur? Thats all. Its just an inconvenience and takes some time and thought to properly reinstall all and is always an unpleasant surprise and a job that needs redoing that I would prefer not to have to do. But that's my experience.

Just curious why? Anyone else have this experience?

No, i do not...
But it sounds like your run-time files are screwed.
Download and reinstall Framework files like +2005 and +2008.. I'm sure that will fix it.. and after that maybe do a full Win7 update.

I'm having a known issue with the steam version of Black Ops Multiplayer. I can't navigate the menus properly with the mouse...

You may optionally disable the fix to select menu items and then re-enable it.

The problem is, even when I disable the fix, the menus don't go back to normal, they stay 'fixed'. For almost all menus I can use the return key, but I can't view all of my stats because you can't scroll left and right on the combat statistics screen with the return key.
It also appears to be really random on mine - some menus work only with the return key, some only with the mouse, and some with both.

For the menu items in CoD, you can move the mouse cursor to the side monitor and it will wrap around and let you select items.

What do you mean by this? Or is this only for MW/MW2?

Btw, you're a legend Dopefish. Without all of your fixes, I never would have purchased an EyeFinity setup. Keep up the great work! :wink:

WSF no longer works with mw2 multi for me, i think they updated the game yesterday.
When i try to activate WFS after launching the game the game stops working after a few seconds.

[xpclassified]

Samething to me! it wont work on my MW2 anymore and it gives error!

[dopefish]

People have been saying that MW2 was updated and mention v1.2.193. However, this is an old version. v1.2.208 was released a long, long time ago and is still the most current. I have not received any updates for it via Steam either. Try verifying your cache and seeing if it gives you an updated version.

On a site note, I just (finally) released an update for MW2 that adds support for alterIW. Sorry for the delay in releasing it.

Let me know how it works. :)



Also, for the menu problem in all Call of Duty games, I still do not have a surround setup. If I had three monitors I could probably get it working fine. I have the computer and video cards for it, I just don't have three monitors. I unfortunately don't see a purchase of three monitors in the near future either, so unless someone is willing to donate a few monitors to me, it's just going to have to wait until I set aside enough money to get a few monitors at once.



As for fixes for other games, I'll see what I can do.

[Birks]

The program said it was running 1.2.208 when it didnt work, dont know why but after downloading the new update you posted it works fine again.
Thanks!

[vstherock]

I've had 2 updates to MW2 mp on steam, 1 yesterday and another today which seems to have rolled back the first patch

latest plugin is working so it's all good

[Abram]

Well, Black Ops was updated, and broke widescreenfixer. :(

[pas008]

not working for me too, :(

[dopefish]

It's been updated. Enjoy. :)

[Abram]

Works great, as usual.
thanky!

[_CH_Skyline_]

It's been updated. Enjoy. :)

Can you please update the singleplayer for MW2? I requested it on March 6th...


EDIT: I found a way to fix the aspect ratio.

[dopefish]

I tested out MW2 a few days ago and all of the offsets were still good.

However, people have been saying there was an update to the game and then report an old version of the game to me. It looks as if Steam downgraded some of them? I'd check and make sure your version matches up with v1.2.208.

No idee how forums work and if im on the right spot for this post, first time ever.
I subscribed just to make a deposit, cause of the widescreen fixer that makes it possible to play on my eyefinity setup.

Lots of thanks for that dopefish.

Don't have a creditcard, i use " ideal " here in Holland to pay on the internet any other way i can deposit?

I've been experiencing the same problem.

After opening Widescreen Fixer, the app disapear from task bar but still remain active in task manager (widescreen fixer.exe). I reinstalled Net Framework 4.0 but no light on this, same problem.

After a long time, I realised that the app was minimized to tray! LOL!!!!!!

So, that is the problem!!!. Somehow, the app is minimized to tray bar and if you don't realize you are thinking that the app is screwed, but dont!!!! haha

In my case, Widescrren Fixer in tray bar is hidden. So at first I didnt' realize that was there. I've set to tray bar that show always widescreen fixer, so next time, I'll find there more easily. But well, next time I'll know what the problem is.


I hope your problem will be the same, good luck ;)


PD: Many thanks to dopefish. This app is a must!!!! Brilliant work :bowdown

[KillerFox]

Well well.. another Black Ops MP update. WSF no longer working.

[Abram]

Yepp. Lame.

And now it's been updated. Thanks again, Dopefish.

I don't know if you get spanked for doing a request for support for a game with this tool.
I was just wondering if it's a huge job to implement so it supports Forgotten Hope 2, which is a mod for Battlefield 2. But they use their own .EXE sadly so the tool won't detect the game/mod. http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/

Thanks for the tool anyways. It gives a lot more eyegasm to the CoD serie with 2D surround.
